Usage Statistics

The fiscal year runs July 1 to June 30. “FY06” ends in June 2006. The current fiscal year includes the current month.
Current fiscal year-to-date and past 10 fiscal year totals are shown in the rows next to each collection name, in reverse chronological order.
A session/use is a discrete period of usage from a unique IP address.
For Database collections, a “session” is a session started by the user and then terminated, either by the user exiting the session or by the session timing out.
For E-Facsimile, E-Text, and HTML collections, a session/use is a period of usage in which file requests (also known as “hits”) from the same IP address are not separated by more than 15 minutes. Session/use counts are always lower than the number of “hits” because a single period of usage involves multiple file requests.
Collections with both Database and E-Facs/E-Text/HTML components show total sessions/uses combined.

This table was last updated on August 1, 2019 with data through June 2019.

Note that collections are in the process of moving to our new infrastructure. Moved collections usage statistics are not reflected here. If a collection was migrated mid-year expect to see no usage, or lower usage, reflected for that fiscal year.
